The potentially neglected culprit of DC surface flashover: electron migration under temperature gradients

Abstract This report intends to reveal the role of electron migration and its effects in triggering direct current (DC) surface flashover under temperature gradient conditions when using epoxy-based insulating composites. The surface potential and the surface flashover voltage are both measured usin...
